Since its BlizzCon 2019 unveiling, new details about Diablo 4 have primarily surfaced alongside quarterly development updates. That much changed over the weekend during the Xbox + Bethesda Games Showcase, wherein Blizzard unleashed an extensive look at Diablo 4 gameplay. Due to the backlash regarding Diablo Immortal\u2019s controversial microtransactions, many were quick to question the content release plans for the brand\u2019s fourth mainline entry. Developers answered by offering a hint at what lies ahead. Diablo 4 will receive story DLC In confirming that Diablo 4 will include in-game purchases for \u201coptional cosmetic items,\u201d Diablo\u2019s SVP and General Manager Rod Fergusson teased the game will eventually feature \u201cfull story-driven expansions,\u201d as well. Fergusson additionally mentioned Blizzard Entertainment\u2019s commitment to delivering an extensive amount of post-launch content \u201cfor years to come.\u201d What said content might entail presently remains unknown to the public. However, the developer promised that more information will surface sometime soon. To be clear, D4 is a full price game built for PC\/PS\/Xbox audiences. We are committed to delivering an incredible breadth of content after launch, for years to come, anchored around optional cosmetic items & full story driven expansions. More details soon. Necro blog tomorrow! \u2014 Rod Fergusson (@RodFergusson) June 12, 2022 This hint about what\u2019s in store for Diablo 4 DLC should come as welcoming news to longtime fans of the series, particularly those who remember Diablo 3\u2019s canceled second expansion. While Diablo 3 received The Reaper of Souls expansion in 2014, the proposed King in the North story DLC never saw the light of day to the dismay of many a fan. Fergusson\u2019s use of \u201cexpansions\u201d when talking about post-release story experiences suggests Diablo 4\u2019s narrative-driven DLC will include more than one content rollout. At the time of writing, though, there\u2019s no word on when exactly Blizzard Entertainment intends to share more information on the matter, especially since BlizzCon\u2019s future remains up in the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
